The Clarendon Hills Brookman Syrah 2011 is a stunning expression of the McLaren Vale region, where the warm climate and rich soils impart a remarkable depth to the fruit. Scoring 94 points from Halliday Wine Companion, this wine showcases alluring aromas of dark berries, smoked meat, and a hint of black pepper, inviting you into its complex character. On the palate, it reveals layers of ripe plum, dark chocolate, and a subtle earthiness, all balanced by a vibrant acidity and silky tannins. This Syrah is perfect for cozy dinners featuring grilled lamb or a hearty mushroom risotto, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions. With its retail price originally at $75, this bottle offers exceptional value, delivering far more than you might expect at this price point.
